January 1970 Archives

It was December 1976 and I decided to write President Ford a letter. He had just lost to Gov. Jimmy Carter and I wanted to console him. I recall writing some very 9-year-old sort of things – something about how […]

It can’t be true… – a virgin birth?– an old pregnant cousin?– angels appearing left and right?– God become not just man but a baby?– astrologers from the east?– a murderous king?– a loyal husband?– a birthing room attended by […]

My colleague and friend Patton Dodd wrote a beautiful article for the Financial Times. It is titled simply, “My pastor disgraced our church.” Please read. My favorite paragraph: Even when I winced over things Pastor Ted would say as a […]

News reports like this one reveal that U2’s Bono was “…alarmed we could not get a commitment from the Democratic leadership to prevent the loss of $1b in the continuing resolution to fight AIDS, malaria and extreme poverty.” The problem, […]

A couple of weeks ago I posted an open letter to James Dobson and Chuck Colson. It was in response to various misrepresentations about my book and about my argument for a Christian “fast” from politics. This week I received […]

My daughters (9 & 11) are leading me astray: 1. Click on the link below.2. Click once on the snowman to activate the penguin3. Click again on the snowman to hit the penguin as he descends from the cliff. Click […]

here is the email that went around this morning to the New Life staff: Dear Staff, Wow, what an amazing week! Wonderland [New Life Church’s Christmas program]was attended by more people this year than ever before. Sunday morning wasan incredible […]

The Denver Post reports this morning that another member of New Life Church’s staff has been asked to leave because of sexual misconduct. An executive staff member at New Life Church in Colorado Springs has resigned after admitting to sexual […]

I came across a very moving article via Andrew Sullivan’s site – it is entitled Surprise Ending and is found in The Christian Century. The author is reflecting on the end of his life and writes: If ever there were […]

Opened my mail this afternoon to find a desperate fundraising plea from the Family Research Council. Plastered on the outside in big letters: “Liberals have revealed their 2007 agenda for America.” Inside, “94 percent of congressmen who stood with FRC…were […]

Beliefnet blogs – with the exception of my colleague Rod Dreher who must be truly living right – were down all weekend through yesterday afternoon. In a way it was a bummer because I didn’t get to write, and in […]

I heard part of your interview on XM as I was driving to pick up my daughter from Kindergarten today. Thank you for what you said. Especially poignant to me was your discussion of abortion and our society’s failure to […]

When I saw that John W. Whitehead of the controversial and Christian Rutherford Institute had written an article after the election about evangelicals and politics I figured it would be fairly predictable – Christians need to be more engaged, Republicans […]

My Beliefnet colleague Alana B. Elias Kornfeld is a guest blogger – a blogger of conscience on Darfur: I am Jewish and I’ve often felt an inexplicable, magical power when I am in temple and worshipping with members of my […]

For those of you with XM and interest my interview with Dr. Mehmet Oz (better known as simply Dr. Oz) airs today at 1pm and 7pm on channel 156. I think it was the best interview of the past several […]

My colleague Rod Dreher has written a brilliant entry about Iraq and today’s report. I encourage you to read it. Here is how it begins: Well, I’ve read as much of it as I can manage this afternoon, and it’s […]

This from the Financial Times: Personal wealth is distributed so unevenly across the world that the richest two per cent of adults own more than 50 per cent of the world’s assets while the poorest half hold only 1 per […]

Writing for the small but influential newsletter put out by The Gathering, Ralph Reed writes about Sen. John Danforth’s book on faith and politics. Danforth argues that the Republican Party is unduly beholden to the religious right. You can read […]

I notice a new piece on the Focus on the Family website called “Tempting Bitterness” by Gary Schneeburger, editor of something called Citizenlink. It is important for me to address its accusations and point out its staggering number of inaccuracies, […]

Last week I spoke at American University. I just talked about the book — the intensely personal one I actually wrote as opposed to the purely political one some people think I wrote. Below is a note from a young […]

A Muslim is coming to the United States House of Representatives, and he wants to be sworn into office with his hand on a Koran and not on a Holy Bible. Some conservatives have decided this may well be the […]

For my interview with Busted Halo, an online magazine for spiritual seekers in their 20s and 30s, click here. Here is one of the exchanges: BH: This seems to be a theme in your life: the struggle between political differences […]

David van Biema in Time.com has just posted a very interesting article: The Real Losers in the Obama-Warren Controversy. He says, “Rick Warren’s invitation to have Barack Obama speak at his mega-church’s AIDS conference has sparked a furor in the […]

Back...I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything ...

Learning to tell a storyFor the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. ...

And just one moreI have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
